Verse 1
Well It SEm9tumbles And It Falls Off Of Almost Every Tongue
Give A Am7Listen And You'll Hear
It's Em9Workin' Like A Landmine In Almost Every Sentence
It's An AsAm7sault To My Mind's Ear
Yeah It EmMight Have Started Back With Jack Kerouac
Probably More Than Am7Likely It Was Maynard G. Krebs
It's The Em94 Letter Word That Used To Mean 'As If'
And The Am7Meaning's Covered In Cobwebs Em9       Am7​
CobwebsEm9       Am7​

Verse 2
Used To Em9Be A Preposition Then It Was A Conjunction
Now It's Am7Used As An Audible Pause
Oh I Em9Hate It When I Hear It Especially When I See It
Gotta SAm7tamp It Out There Ought To Be Some Laws
College Em9Boys Valley Girls Mall Rats Grandmammas
EveryAm7body's Mis-Usin' That Word
I Em9Heard It Four Times In One Poor Little Sentence
It Was The Am7Saddest Sound I Ever Have Heard

D I Suppose You Could Blame It On MyG Generation
Chickens AFrom The 60S Finally Comin' Into DRoostA​
D I've Been Sayin' It Myself For Over G30 Years Now
A Just To Give My Cool Quota Just A Little DBitty Kind Of A Boost
Em But When I Hear It,G I Can't Stand It
A Especially Coming Out Of The Mouths Of One Of My DOwn KidsA​
D It's Been Taught And God,G What Have We Wrought?
A Give A Listen Here, What Do We Dig?D     Am7​

Verse 3
Em9I Prefer Ah Or Er
Am7You Can Rest Assured
If You're Em9Sayin' What You Mean Then It Don't Mean A Thing
It's Just An Am7Ugly Little 4 Letter Word
Doesn't Em9Anybody Care Or Am I The Only One?
Am I Just SAm7tuck Back In Some Kind Of A Past?
Em9Maybe It's Harmless But It Feels Like A Virus
And It Am7Sounds Like It's Catchin' On Fast
